The presence of 2016-dated coins bearing the original decimal Machin portrait and the Maklouf effigy is a stroke of genius on the part of the RAM – especially as the Maklouf portrait has not graced a standard decimal coin type since 1998! Just as importantly, this is the very first time that a Coat of Arms 50c or a Platypus 20c has been struck to the Mint’s exquisite Frosted Uncirculated quality!

The Frosted Uncirculated strike gives these beloved Stuart Devlin reverse motifs a very different ‘look’, and for anyone determined to maintain a complete collection, this set of utterly unique types is a compulsory acquisition.
